29 Mar 2006
A  Russian-Jordanian joint venture called Oboronprom Middle East, whose  establishment was announced at the SOFEX 2006 arms show currently  underway in Amman, plans to assemble 15 to 20 Ka-226 helicopters a year.
"We  are planning to reach an annual output of 15 to 20 aircraft. At the  moment we have six firm orders for the Ka-226 helicopter," Mr. Denis  Manturov, director general of the “Oboronprom” united industrial  corporation, told Interfax-Military News Agency on Wednesday.
The  Middle Eastern market is among the most promising ones, he said.  "Establishment of a joint venture in Jordan manufacturing Ka-226s paves  the way for the helicopter to other countries of the region. We have no  doubts that the new helicopter will be widely used here," Mr. Manturov  said.
As it was earlier reported, Oboronprom Middle East was  established by “Oboronprom” and Jordan's Orangeville Consulting Inc.  “Oboronprom” owns 51 percent of shares in the new company, and  Orangeville Consulting Inc. Owns the remaining 49 percent.
Jordanian officials stress that the joint venture was established under the patronage of Jordanian King Abdallah II. 
The venture will be located in an aircraft park not far from Amman's international airport.
The  Ka-226 is a light utility helicopter. It has a modular design. It is  powered by two 450 hp engines, which allow it to be employed as a  passenger helicopter, an air transport, a search and rescue chopper, an  air ambulance, a patrol helicopter, or a fire-fighting one. The  helicopter combines proved designs, such as co-axial rotors and “flying  chassis” design, with contemporary technologies. The helicopter is  fitted with gas turbine engines, new-generation navigation equipment,  and a composite-material fuselage.  
The helicopter meets  international reliability, service life, noise and flight safety  requirements, which is confirmed by proper certificates.
